EXCITING CHANGES - SAME MISSION Exciting_Changes
It is an exciting time in the YMCA movement!  Recently, our national organization, the YMCA of the USA, launched a new branding strategy which includes a new logo and the introduction of three areas of focus:  youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.  This new spin on our old favorites allows the YMCA mission "to put Christian principles into practice through programs that build healthy spirit, mind and body for all" to be clearer and louder than ever before. 
 
Our YMCA plans to roll out the new brand over the course of the next sixteen months; we invite you to share in our excitement as we embrace and begin the changes!
